Maybe the new job will be a welcome distraction? I'm starting back on 11th, gained half a stone over the past few weeks, but had already put on weight since stopping CD a couple of years ago. Decided to start again before the last 7lb gain

Good luck on SS hun, looking forward to seeing your loss in a weeks time

Just to reassure you-I put on 1st 5 after my 2 weeks off last xmas, they came off in about 2 weeks I think. You will be fine I am sure.

My huge weight gain only occurred from May onwards when we had the most social events ever during the summer, followed by a big blip in our marriage and then very tough time with Dad's dementia from present until now- it was not my 2 weeks off last xmas.

Good luck with the end part of your journey, I am starting again from scratch plus a few extra pounds tomorrow.....got a new blender and net book to help me on my way x

Hi Hon, I started back on CD today and, although I don't officially see my CDC for another couple of weeks, I weighed myself on my scales. I put on 8lbs over the last 4 weeks of being off CD, so raring to go again. I'm sure the weight will just drop off you. Good luck.

i went from 11st 4lb to 11st 12lb from 20th to the 28th. i then went back on the 810 and dropped to 11st 7lb before having new years eve off. went up to 11st 10lbs (hubby had take out but i didn't but i had crisps, nuts, a bottle of wine and some chocolate followed by a large drambuie ). back on it 90% faithful yesterday and was 11st 8lbs this am. hoping for a couple of lb off tomorrow am for weigh in so my gain is minute.... please my first week ss i always loose between 9-11lbs. this is majority water. so your gain isn't too bad.

I put on 11lbs at weigh in although it was definitely more because I was SSing for 3 days prior to my weigh in. I don't regret it as I had a fabulous Christmas but I'm so glad to be back on CD - good luck Hun xx

I did the same thing as AwakenMe... I ss'd for a few days before weighing myself because I knew I had gained a lot and could not bear to see the "real" numbers. So, when I weighed myself this morning (after 4 days of ssing) I was only up a couple of pounds from the last time I weighed (way before Christmas). However, I am sure I was really up nearly a stone! UGH!
Now, it is on to real losses!!!
